Itching for your product
At proderm we are committed to safe and effective products, be it in consumer care or medicinal products and medical devices and we will find the right test for your requirements.
A typical example of a claims support test for a consumer care product that claims to alleviate pruritus in individuals with atopic dermatitis could look like this:
| Panel | 32 female or male (or larger panels) Regular itching sensation due to atopic dermatitis |
| Visits | Day 1, day 18 |
| Assessments and Times | Itching evaluation - Starts between day 1-3 - Itch relief after 1st application - Day 18 |
| Application | Starts when subject perceives a clear itching sensation Over 2 weeks, twice daily at home |
In this design, our panel would be patients suffering from conditions causing pruritus. Itch would be assessed by patients using a visual analog scale and patients are instructed to start using the test product at home after clearly perceiving itchy skin.
